Clumsy Clive's Algebra Tests 1 & 2

Clumsy Clive's Algebra Tests 1 & 2

(0)
Clive is having a go at some revision tests on some basic algebra, including simple algebraic fractions, like terms, expanding brackets, solving linear equations (including with variables on both sides), expanding two brackets and substitution. He has made a mistake on each question; your class needs to spot the error, correct it and then explain what it is. These are designed to encourage discussion in class and develop deeper understanding using common errors.

Turning Points (Completing the Square) Codebreaker

The usual thing: answer the questions, reveal the cheesy joke. I use these as starters, plenaries and main tasks; you can use them (or not as the case may be) however you like… but students do seem to like them (if the volume of groans at the jokes is anything to go by).
Transformations Puzzle Codebreaker

Transformations Puzzle Codebreaker

(0)
This is a variation on a codebreaker; unfortunately the software (PowerPoint) won’t let me reflect words, but it will let me rotate them. The shapes fit together when transformed correctly and the words should form a cheesy joke.

Clumsy Clive's Number Tests

Clive is tackling number in these two tests, including properties of number, HCF, LCM, prime factors, Venn diagrams and the product rule for counting. As ever he is making mistakes and needs help from your classes to help him correct his errors and then explain what he did wrong so that he (hopefully) doesn’t make the same mistakes again. This is designed to create discussion.

Clumsy Clive's Linear Graphs Test

(0)
Clive is looking at some questions on linear graphs, but as usual he is making mistakes that your classes need to help him with, explaining what he has done incorrectly so that he (hopefully) doesn’t make the same mistakes in the future. This is designed to encourage discussion and help students to develop a deeper understanding of the topic.
Careless Casey - Number and Algebra

Careless Casey - Number and Algebra

(0)
Casey is doing the AQA Further Maths Level 2 Certificate course; this is the homework for Chapter 1 involving Pascal’s Triangle, product rule for counting, solving equations (involving fractions) and algebraic percentage relationships. These are designed for students to discuss how to solve the problems given and appraise “Casey” regarding their understanding; I find these to be good at deepening understanding.
Solving Equations In Places You Wouldn't Expect

Solving Equations In Places You Wouldn't Expect

(0)
Eight situations where forming and solving an equation could be required; topics include Perimeter, angles, averages, percentages, fractions, compound measures, probability and ratio (the final two involve quadratics). Read the instructions and from that form and solve. I have done solutions should you need them.

Work out the equation of the line that the footballers kick the ball along in order to eventually score. There are two versions, one with the pitch and one without due to possible printing out issues.

Multiplying Matrices Codebreakers

(0)
Two jokes to find by multiplying matrices and finding multiples of matrices. This is designed for AQA Further Maths GCSE. These should not cause too many problems for students but might be a good opportunity to do some…
